Bathhouses have been in existence for almost 2000 years, with the Romans and Greeks at its European forefront and the Japanese at the Asian's.

Since the beginning of the bath culture, clothing was prohibited inside the tubs for sanitary reasons. Unnatural chemicals and toxins from the clothing would be drawn out by the intense heat of the water and absorbed into the pores and skin. It was also believed that clothing inside this area suggested that the bather had some condition that need to be hid.

To promote the cleanest waters for guests and to stay true to ancient bath traditions, clothing and/or any form of bathing suits are prohibited inside all locker room baths.
